A trend in most spill-outs on the thread, same as mine but #220000, no matter how friendly we are NO Monetary DEAL without documentation and signature proof, not to say one can't still get burnt even after having documented evidence but it would be easier to prove.

May God save us from unfriendly wolves posing as cool sheeps.

If you do business online you must be scammed in one way or the other.
The biggest money I lost however was to crypto. I invested all the money I made in 2017 in crypto- Almost 3k usd. All the coins I bought were shit coins and lost most of their value. Las las the total money I cashout from the coins was less than $300.
Lesson: Never invest in what you dont understand.

My biggest loss was $75 when I intended buying ssn,socks and other online tools to create an Amazon dropship from a particular darkweb site.I paid in bitcoins and got scammed.

I have learnt my lessons tho,I didn't relent I had to research more by buying more ebooks on better ways to access the market and how to identify legit vendors there.

As at today am a master on the darkweb.

I lost 755k to an ex some years back...
He claimed he was into real estates and property
Not knowing he was just in the relationship for some selfish reasons I had no forsight of because yeah I was so gullible and stupid enough not to have paid attention to all the signs around coupled with the fact he always kept his family life and background personal.

Lesson learnt: Avoid investing into any sort of relationship if you have any atom of doubt and always get your fact right about anyone irrespective of the love you have or share together.
Humans can be so unpredictable

Wow. you should be a really nice sweet lady

Lost 8.7 million to forex trading in 2015. Lost 540k to Sportybet, lost 300k to bad business. The list is endless. The funny thing is whenever I loss or lost money I laugh, shake it off and move ahead. I cannot come and kill myself

As for the forex, were.you the one trading yourself or you gave someone to trade for you?

Micheno Multipurpose Cooperative headed by one stupid and never do well, Michael Eke, and one useless unfunny comedian Aya Mbakara, those guys scammed unsuspecting investors to the tune of 30 billion since 2018 and sadly my 10million Naira was part of it. The painful aspect was that I am not a fan of HYIP schemes, I felt since they were making payments for upto 5 months I should quickly make a gain out of the scheme and boom a week to my payout after waiting for about 30 days the stories started coming up.

Lesson Learnt : Never ever invest in HYIP/Ponzi scheme.

Mine was personal share of 40million naira approximately when I shared a business idea with a good friend but failed in putting everything down into a signed agreement because I trusted him and our friendship.

He made the money as projected but never gave me a penny.

Lesson learned: Trust absolutely nobody
I was looking forward to stories in this magnitud.. I am currently in same position BUT I am in control of everything... The deal/market is worth more then 100M and evergreen. I plan to spread across 3 major cities... after doing deals up to that 100M in accumulation within 2-3 years, I am venturing into food/agro-business big time...

Covid19 delayed first take off... but I am patiently waiting for society to normalize soon.

Thanks for sharing this piece with us.
